First Violin Recital

I'm not sure whose accomplishment was bigger on this day, mine or theirs. Katelyn and Kamryn have been taking violin lessons for seven months now, from our "Hugely Decorated Violinist" neighbor and this was their first recital. It has been a major life undertaking for me especially. Lessons are half an hour one day a week and assisted practice is one hour the rest of the days of the week. This is a proud moment photo. Also, check out Katelyn's cheek. This is the tooth drama we went through right in the middle of this important week-end. She was amazingly strong through it all. Sadly, she did hide her face during 90% of her performance. This picture was taken before we got the infection under control and before the emergency surgery took place. She was so brave. Kamryn pulled off her performance like a star---she is a gamer! In practice she was sounding sloppy and I was worried it wouldn't go well but as soon as she had the moment to shine it was "game-on" for little Kam and she NAILED it!!!!
